Speed and Architecture

During the development of the Elite SMS Gateway using experiences attained over many years, all common problems were taken into consideration.

Problems including redundancy, flexibility, speed, user experience, database impact and others.

The result is a system which was built from scratch with all of these in mind, with the intention of solving them. The Elite SMS Gateway
is architected in such a way, that is uses memory hashes wherever possible, while still using either the file system or database drivers for persistance and storage.

The baseline benchmark for delivery of the gateway is based on the following hardware:

• Core i7 Quad Core Processor 2.67 GHz
• 8 GB DDR3 RAM
• 2 x 750 GB RAID-1 disks

Performance attained with our standard MySQL configuration:

• Batch parser – 12,217 rows per second
• HTTP Submission – 977 messages per second
